Overview

Mission

To take care of our own.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mptf provides various programs and charitable services including retirement community accomodations, temporary financial assistance based on need, social services, child care and various wellness and education programs. Mptf's retirement community, located on the wasserman campus in woodland hills (often referred to as 'the home'), offers independent and assisted living accomodations for entertainment industry retirees and their spouses based on years of service regardless of their ability to pay the fees. Mptf provided over $2.8 million in residential care subsidy in 2024. Total 2024 residential days were 51,071. Mptf provided temporary financial assistance to industry members of approximately $2.5 million in 2024 for rent, food, housing, health insurance premiums and other needs. Mptf's community-based social service activities include individual and case management, assessments, information referrals, and increased assistance for seniors wishing to remain in their own homes through home modifications and volunteer visiting programs. Total social service contacts in 2024 were 33,180.mptf is also committed to building geographically-based communities of interest among industry retirees. These include activities like walking groups, community "conversations" with programs of speakers, movie nights, book clubs, and other social events. These activities target industry retirees who are choosing to "age in place" in their homes as opposed to choosing institutional settings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
